Whether you work in a corporation, organization or school, GROWING High Performance Teams has a role in your life as a professional. The best thing to help get there is a skeleton, a model to follow that is both prescriptive and diagnostic. If you don’t want to talk models or tools, let’s talk questions. (5) Questions to ask yourself, your team, and to use in order to shed light on strengths and weaknesses…for future meetings on action and growth. Those (5) questions are:
What is your definition of a High Performance Team and what does it look like?
What key concepts do we want to embody as a High Performance Team?
How are we growing this High Performance Team? (what model are you following?)
What are the biggest obstacles to growing High Performance Teams?
What will we do if we have interpersonal or conflicts in the way of sustaining high performance?
You need to have a model to help you define the pathway to high performance teams as well as a diagnostic component that sheds light on what to do when not sustaining high performance. Things can and will go wrong so the best way to use that particular type of conflict is to shed light on it, ask the questions and take action with the answers as your guide.
We don’t build high performance teams, we grow them. Think of the team as a living organism that changes, grows and may shift over time (like someone leaving and/or joining the team.) If you want to learn to utilize one of the best tools/models I have known, send me a message. If not interested in going that far but you want to shed light on where your team is at this moment, use those questions to get started.
Much love,
Dave
